True Confessions with Martin Short and Steve Martin
/ fallontonight

[@josie-nv6ft]

"WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME FOR? I don't tell you everything!" They argue like an old married couple

[@haardy4694]

Truee.. i actually they were a couple lol😂😂

[@Miss11779]

That line!!!! I started choking I was laughing so hard! I love them!

[@noelleslament]

true true-

[@7BD273]

"Oh wait, yes I do!" 😂

[@jimbutler1189]

“Can you spare me the details?” Steve Martin is a comic genius.

[@swisscheeseplease97]

That’s such a Steve Martin response 😂

[@JesusPulledMeThrough]

The fact that these 2 comedy legends just so happen to be best friends, is really one of the great things in life

[@nasabean]

Seriously, this friendship makes me happy

[@Nateoliver...]

You mean 3

[@JesusPulledMeThrough]

@@Nateoliver... I love Jimmy Fallon, but even he knows he's not a comedy legend, lol, particularly not on the same level as Steve Martin and Martin Short. However, Jimmy Fallon is definitely talented in his own right.

[@ethane-dawgwenger4207]

Steve Martin and Martin Short are basically the modern Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner.

[@starchild2358]

It is such a beautiful friendship ❤️

[@cookiesncream789]

"There are no losers here!" "Well there's three of them!" 😂😂😂😂

[@denizkendirci]

legends.

[@JTKsGodGivenTalent]

I literally died when he said "hello, you're a pretty bloke" 😂😂😂

[@comanchio1976]

No you didn't

[@watersparkle16832]

Figuratively*

[@amylynnhunt55]

He died, was quickly revived, and went along his merry way. True story.

[@jofinsky8400]

What's the point of having a word like "literally" if people misuse it?

[@BeauStephenson]

@@jofinsky8400 It's just a quick shortcut to hyperbole.

[@spinkosaurus]

Steve and Martin are just so damn charming and loveable, you can just tell how much they love each others company and they just pick up the energy of any room they're in, it's a shame they don't get as many movie roles these days

[@bielsabas4407]

So true!! Charming really is the word lol

[@amylynnhunt55]

I love that they stay active though. Just them sitting around being themselves is so funny, who needs movies? I'm still trying to find a copy of "Clifford" though : )

[@angelicaplummer1684]

... their quick wits

[@taydrabrookshire347]

They’re not really into movies now. They’ve been too focused on their tour to consider otherwise.

[@angelone1839]

If Steve and Martin were to fuse together, they would be Steve Martin

[@evecrone183]

"Hello. You're a pretty bloke aren't you? OH wAiT tHaT's nOt wHaT i mEaNt!" I died 😂😂

[@TrueAmericanReject]

I always wonder to myself, after watching these, what was on the unread envelopes.

[@paulrodriguez3757]

those sir....r never meant to be opened..some ppl just cant handle the truth.

[@jimmyjones2087]

+Paul Rodrgiguez Is that a quote from Michael Caine? I swear it is :) lol

[@thefreeloadersent.2460]

It just reads : you are gay

[@marissaalfieri9385]

Same and with the box of lies I always wonder what was in the other boxes

[@taydrabrookshire347]

Nuclear codes

[@hellofood4147]

"Can you spare me the details" pure gold.

[@sergioyuri4187]

I feel like Steve Martin hit the age 50 right before Cheaper By The Dozen and just stopped aging.

[@Enigma-YT]

Steve Martin taking this game competitively was hilarious 😂

[@Bianca-wu8ko]

The look on Marty's face when Steve initially said that he did sleep with Bridgitte Bardot was priceless.🤣

[@CantThinkOfaHandle3]

"Would they sleep with you?" "Nooooo" "Oh I think it's true" HAHAHA

[@carolineballard5183]

“Considering there’re numbered” had me hooked

[@tajwarnihal9483]

Steve: "Did they sleep with you?" Martin: "No." Steve: "I think it's true." Lollll... I died.

[@sowmyagiridhar9199]

I love that moment when Steve said to Martin "What. I don't tell you everything." xDxD

[@lauren3024]

I love how Steve immediately thought the story was true once Martin said he slept with no girls 😭

[@meepmeepimajeep]

How the f*ck is Steve Martin 71 !!! That is freaking incredible! Such a cool guy

[@joanna6569]

IKR I WAS just thinking that today 73!? thats what wealth can do for you!

[@greggow2396]

Joanna 73 and getting going properly

[@rshawlogan]

I know! He doesn't look any older than he did when he was thirty!

[@amylynnhunt55]

Steve hasn't had anything done, and rich people don't just look good because they're rich (although I wouldn't mind trying, you know, just to be scientific) I think aside from genetics, which is half the battle, both Steve and Marty stay very active. (Martin Short is a perpetual motion machine. He's burning calories all the time! :0)) After watching their Netflix thing, I was blown away at how much energy both of these guys have. I was happily exhausted just from watching.

[@M7MD-80]

74 & still cool

[@VestingKnight10]

I feel like Steve Martin hit the age 50 right before Cheaper By The Dozen and just stopped aging.

[@stephaniemellon478]

Vesting Knight10 he looks the same as he did in father of the bride movies from the early 90,s

[@emanuelesparza7211]

Have you seen him in Three Amigos? He looks the same!

[@CinemaDemocratica]

"By the way, thank you for telling us that it's a fun game; that fills in a lot of blanks for me."

[@iloveqatar]

You know what. These two would make excellent cohosts on a television show.

[@alexlaughridge5060]

Mr. Q - iLoveQatar.net I

[@terrillmaxwell3862]

Word.. hopefully we can make it happen... standing here

[@amylynnhunt55]

Marty has tried a couple of talk shows and for some reason, they never do well. Well, except the Jiminy Glick thing, does that count? Maybe because he's so great at physical comedy, putting him behind a desk limits him too much. I imagine they're every talk show host's dream guests though! You just sit back and watch them go.

[@taydrabrookshire347]

I’d love to see them star in their own anime

[@tannhauser7584]

There would be no need for guest stars.

[@djtaitai]

Steve and Martin are on another level of funny.

[@aussiejed1]

"Would they sleep with you?" "Noooooo." "I think it's true." Steve Martin is still the master.

[@mitchelleckstrand6439]

4:03 this part always makes me laugh the most. The way Steve signals to leave and they both immediately get up

[@Dontreply39573]

Martin Short totally missed the opportunity to say "I'm no detective Cluesou."

[@Pat3342110]

I knew Jimmy's story was a lie, he just wanted to do a Regis impression

[@MisterFoxx]

Niandra Lades lol yup

[@paulahyland7688]

Jimmy does have a Regis story similar to that, that he and Regis told when he was a guest on The Tonight Show. I guess he figured people already heard it so he changed it up.

[@rubbersoul8334]

I knew it was a lie because he kept saying 'Or something like that' which made it lose credibility and kept touching his nose, which is an indicator someone is lying.

[@sifugurusensei]

Clementine I also knew Jimmy was lying. I was certain of it, cuz he's not a good liar, nor a good actor.

[@krishnakalidasgupta2176]

Clementine uu

[@mariav9445]

LOVE Steve and Martin soooooo much!

[@MisterFoxx]

lmao these two are hilarious. "By the way, thanks for telling us it's a fun game". I love Steve's style of humor.

[@thanasisv190]

I fucking love Steve Martin.

[@RandyBeans8543]

The face Martin Short makes when he says “I’m not big Sleuth” had me 🤣🤣

[@trenth1797]

Why aren't they in movies today? The best hands down!

[@rachelle_banks]

They are funny. The special on Netflix was good. And also, I just realized that your comment is 2 years old so... You've probably seen that special right now.

[@jazzyst777]

Because popularity is more important than actual talent 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@seraby7151]

Because they want to enjoy the money they earned. I dunno. If I earned as much money as they did I would had taken it easy early. Plus it's not they are completely out of hollywood. They are still doing standups when they are feeling like it.

[@tessavivier593]

They are on a T.v show called only murders in the building

[@courbynebufford3550]

I think they have been in one or two movies back in the day

[@sulabhparajuli]

Wish it was longer

[@CranjisMcbasketball322]

thats what she said

[@CranjisMcbasketball322]

***** Pam?

[@CranjisMcbasketball322]

***** :D its Dwight

[@CranjisMcbasketball322]

***** Beets are only for Angela

[@yashara1e]

sulabh parajuli that's what she said.

[@ghaliasx]

Steve Martin+ Martin Short = Steve Short

[@brendalg4]

Or Martin Martin

[@jamesdaniels8007]

Ghalia Swiss it also equals Steve Martin

[@wack5416]

By virtue of transitivity.

Steve Martin makes me miss John Candy. #Planes, Trains & Automobiles

i remember i laughed so hard to that movie.#RIPJCandy

[@gigistoner8004]

[@shahmm]

Steve Martin is an absolute genius

[@ariellecevallos9130]

who’s here after watching Only Murders in the Building!!

[@nurmadihahbintizulkifli1734]

when martin short said his story, i already know it's the truth. flashback to me watching his British accent in snl royal doctor skit 🤣

[@robbiewhite323]

Damn I forgot how funny Steve Martin is... still one of the funniest out there

[@tkmaz]

I have never laughed so hard at a True Confessions. I love them so much.

[@XoXo475]

Absolute GOLD together

[@thommyturtle209]

2:26 Martin, the perfect Mouth-open

[@antonduhgr8835]

I went and searched 'Bridget Bardot 1960's' in Google images after this...MY LORD!!!!!!!

[@luvyou-baby]

same after reading ur comment. she was gorgeous.

[@rockoutkids]

Anthony Bagrier same

[@TomBombadil168]

Same, holy shit. Steve would be raised to Elder God status for that.

[@Marius-vw9hp]

I dont know, she is a bit old for my taste...

[@mastersoftoday]

lmao noone is offering you and either way you're 50 years late

[@elivasquez9096]

Everyone talks about Jimmys fake laugh.. when I truly feel like he's one of the hosts that truly loves his job and I feel like he loves going to work every night...I love this guy he's always in a good mood..

[@madisonbaca2463]

I absolutely love Martin Short and Steve Martin!!!!! They are classic funny men!!!!

[@bielsabas4407]

Hearing the three of them talk is refreshing 😂 And the friendship between the two martins is just great to see.

[@thefatman69dude]

Steve and Martin have the best chemistry together. They are amazing

[@NK-vb3fn]

Since it's numbered 😂😂😂 lovely display of sense of humour. What a friendship they too share

[@sesimie]

Steve Martin Short.....one of the greatest comedy duos!!

[@Don-vb6ef]

Or the great comedy act "Steve and Martin".

[@Unqualifiedmedicalperson]

Two comedy legends, and Jimmy Fallon.

[@TheBigDean18]

Martin and Steve are like the older version of Jimmy and Justin

[@Fancyface2284]

Jonathan Dean Right! Lol

[@skyhazel6205]

They should do some kind of VS game with each other then!

[@kobebryant1265]

Take both justin's and jimmy's iq test and then take their comedic iq test's then talk to me

[@amylynnhunt55]

Jonathan Dean, Do you think the younger guys learned from Steve and Marty? Or just that they're all terrifically funny? Not options are good, but I love these guys and would like to hear your thoughts.

[@Sunnefo88]

-Would they sleep with you? -Noooo! -I think it's true! :D

[@tfpp1]

I love how competitive Steve Martin is. He'd be great at playing modern board games, mathing it out...

[@ipdjbt]

I haven't seen Steve martin in quite some time but I gotta say he is looking really good! And still funnier than hell!

[@hannahgentry2711]

He looks the same as he's always been 🤣

[@thewadsquad]

3 comic geniuses! So hilarious!!

[@thewadsquad]

Bahah George Carlin! Good one-- My husband likes him, what about Mitch Hedburg (not sure how to spell his last name).

[@dmbjunky]

So many people quick to think that Fallon is a comedic genius. I have to think they are trolls. Being a host of a talk show doesn't immediately make someone a "comedic genius". I'm not sure what else he's done to make him a "genius" besides being a bit player on SNL.

[@bucs03sd]

This was awesome. I could watch Steve Martin and Martin Short talk all day. I want a friendship like that one day

[@jordangroff8978]

if Chevy Chase had been there, it would have been the Three Amigos and Jimmy Fallon

[@monimarz]

Unfortunately Chevy Chase isn't the nicest person to work with.

[@ozzstriker101]

ԋαɳʂ ωolʇ Just a prick. Sadly a hilariously talented prick.

[@veggigoddess]

Jordan Groff agreed, but unfortunately, Chevy Chase is a complete douchebag that apparently no one wants to be around anymore so that will never happen.

[@Bohemecrochet]

And THAT would have been AWESOME!!!

[@ZuluChick]

Isn't he in rehab?

[@lesyayandfilksongs]

Steve Martin Short. I love that guy.

[@cinnamonrollypoly]

"Did they sleep with you?" "No." "It's true" Rofl

[@lionessmummy4418]

I love seeing the chemistry and the history between Steve Martin and Martin Short. It's obvious they seem to like each other.

[@sombonTV]

I love how well SM & MS know each other. "I don't tell you everything!" Haha.

[@misstessamaye]

"By the way, thank you for telling us it's a fun game, that fills in a lot of blanks for me" 😂

[@teddeeznuts]

i cannot get over the fact that these guys, john mulaney, andy samberg, and like 3 other comedians were all like "oh hey yean let's have dinner together" that dinner must've been AMAZING

[@rajithmaligaspe]

Jimmy's details on what the argument with Regis was, and his body language gave away the fact that he was lying. I'm surprised neither Martin nor Steve picked it up, I thought it was pretty obvious :P

[@rajithmaligaspe]

no but you look like you could benefit from some counseling.

[@Jomanro]

I was so sorry to hear about the death of Martin Short's wife. SO glad to have him back despite being gone for so long while grieving the lost of his very best friend. It's like he never left the comedy scene, though.

[@sandiegoparrothead]

These 2 are comedy royalty and I love the fact that they're best friends in real life.

[@Melinda_Hunter]

I've always loved Martin Short

[@sandybeach123]

Love the way Martin delivers his reply to Steve's sex question with a low-purring "Nooooooooo"

[@julianpagano1659]

I just love the music they play at the beginning of every True confession episode

lifelong fan of both Steve & Martin. god the world will be a horribly dark place when they go.

[@Itsandinicole]

Martin and Short are the best duo OF ALL TIME!!!!!

[@jenersharma]

It's a game with Martinis; shaken not stirred

[@CocoOPNY]

This was my favorite True Confessions so far... awesome 👏

[@featherface]

The two best Amigos are here!!!

[@wolfgangrotkiske6068]

These two are national treasures.

[@production749]

I wish Tom Hanks was with them. It would be the best game ever.

[@kelleyjerred8032]

didn't realize how much I missed you two until watching this :) xoxo

[@whodathunkitwhodathunkit8532]

Two of the funniest people in the world. And Jimmy Fallon.

[@zubairdar5397]

I came to know about Steve Martin after watching his movie It’s Complicated … Since then I m in love with him … Then I watched Only Murders in the Building …then find another gem Martin short …now I m in love with both of them

[@JillKnapp]

I would give anything to just be in a room with Martin Short and Steve Martin-- I bet their random casual banter about nothing is the funniest shit ever.

[@starchild2358]

Adore their friendship so much! ❤️

[@MindYourOwn777]

Jimmy Fallon's Regis Philbin impression is on point 😂

[@gamma8562]

Marty Short is such a treasure! Protect him at all cost!

[@allen604]

3 comic geniuses. 1 table

[@nguyea09]

2 comic legends and 1 host with many writers.

[@TNPMassRomantic]

3? You sure about that?

[@Janinho897]

+astroception he does have a lot of writers, but they can only help being funny, when there's some sort of script to write. this game they're playing, and many other games they have on the tonight show, is sth that writers can't interfere with, cause comedic element is improv.

[@Kstr007]

2

[@awesome420ication]

2, and one 'meh' comic.

[@entonyelle3044]

Wow they should start a podcast !

[@msgigirogers1559]

Martin's Cary Grant was PERFECT!!!

[@grassfedcharlie]

All Martin Short would ever have to do is look in my direction and I would instantly crack up

[@Miss11779]

I've been binge watching these all night - I love them! This one is my favorite! Steve Martin and Martin Short are a win no matter the topic! (Would love to have seen Jack Lemon and Walter Mathau! 😂)

[@radishsayshi]

I have never once in my life used the term "friendship goals", but seriously, Steve Martin and Martin Short.

[@funeralbillii9172]

Nobody has made me laugh harder than Martin Short. Anybody remember the SNL bit where he was a synchronized swimmer? Damn, that still cracks me up!!

[@carolinenelson92]

In my opinion, this is by FAR the best True Confessions segment. I want to go watch "Father of the Bride" now.

[@cards0486]

Only Martin Short makes me laugh so hard. I knew his story was true, it's in his book. Steve Martin had to know that. They're best friends!I'd love to see their show.

[@shadowkisss1958]

Martin Martin and Short Steve

[@lucillecui1363]

Steve Martin killed every second! Hahaha! My new fave after Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.

[@Abril-1234]

Steve is competitive as hell 😂 #mood

[@burnabyjoe3196]

"would they sleep with you?" "nooo" "I think it's true" XD

[@xoiluvmusicox]

This was amazing. I've been loving the collaborations lately on Jimmy!
